T he week leading up to the pep assembly was packed with spirit.
Monday was class t-shirt day; Tuesday, Pajama Pant Day;
Wednesday, Clash/Crazy Hair day; Thursday, 80s day; Friday of course
was blue and white day. At the homecoming assembly, the sophomores
won the “chug a mountain dew” contest, while the juniors defeated in the

Yearbook
A yearbook is one of the most
important things in a school. It is full of
memories of past experiences that you
can look back on in the years to come.
The yearbook staff works really hard to
make sure everything comes together.
Taking the role of editor this year
was Lyndsey Tibbie. She worked hard to
keep the class on task to assure you the
best yearbook ever. With the staffs hard
work and dedication, we hope you enjoy
the yearbook this year.

My name is Masako. My
hometown is Osaka, Japan. I
currently live with Joseph and Nancy
Trexler in Ruby. My hobbies include
listening to music, playing
volleyball and singing. I also like
to play the guitar and hang out with
my friends.
There are many differences
between America and Japan. For
instance America seems to be so much
cheaper than in Japan. The food also
comes in many different styles.
School life, culture, and language
are also very different than across
seas .
My address is: 3 - 28-19 Shirogane,

My name is Mai. My home town is Tokyo,
Japan, in america I live with Michael
and Patricia Stadalnikas in Ruby. I
enjoy playing the trumpet, listening
to music, and drawing. I think manners
are different here compared to Japan.
American food comes in large
quantities.

ANew Beginning
Here we are, the end at last. 1
® 9 J know everyone always says that
President this isn't really the end, that it is
Tom Marcetti i r • • c i •
the beginning of something new
i and better. And while it may be a
beginning, we must not forget it's
also the end of some of the greatest
: times in our lives. All of us will
j remember these days and look back
upon them. Perhaps not always
with thoughts of the good times,
but it's just as much the bad times
in our lives that have made us who
we are. And even though we will
continue to grow and be molded by
future experiences and people, it
has been these past few years that
have ultimately set the base of who
we will become.

path followed precisely,
leads precisely nowhere. And yet
every journey begins with a single
step. This is that step ; and it is
the steps that follow that will
define each of our journeys
through life. Some of us are meant
for greatness/ and some aren't.
But the only thing that matters is
that we live our lives to the fullest
and that we love who we are and
what we do.

I'd wish you all lucky but luck
alone won't be enough. Don't be
afraid to be differenty to be
yourselfy to do it your way, and
never let go of your dreams.

Sincerely Yours,
Taryne Kavanagh
T he Class of 2004 is full of amazing talent. In the
past three years, we have shown our flare in
athletics, our gift in the arts, our aptitude in academics,
and our steadfast school spirit! With all of these
strengths, our individual
promise for the future
has a plethora of
possibilities. We have
made so many memories
together, but sadly
making them will too
soon come to an end.
Thus, let’s make the
remaining moments
together the best they
can possibly be. . .so when
we look at our years
together at Yale High
School we will have
many treasured
memories.

as they smile for the camera.
They all deserve so much credit
for the time and effort they put
into making our years here at
Yale worth it.
Mr. Nicholl is the heart of our school.
Being our principal he must be able to
relate to the student. He is a natural at
making someone smile when their day
has gone bad. He is an exceptional role
model for Yale High School.
Mrs. Julie Cowhy takes time out to assist a student.
Mrs. Weaver, a new
teacher to our staff this
year, does a wonderful
job with the students.
Keep up the good work!!!
Mr. French teaches his students the importance of
math. His technique is unlike any other. He does an
awesome job.

COACHES
The 2002 varsity football season was filled
with tough competition and exciting games.
A third straight playoff appearance was
preceded by victories over a class A team
Flint Kersley and Capac. A total team effort
of hard work, determination, and heart,
enabled these excellent athletes to have a
successful year.
Coach Smeznik
“Cross Country is a combination of physical stamina and mental
thoughness. It is not a spectator sport in the typical sense. Many
people misunderstand why anyone would abuse their body so much
for so little glory. Runners know that the satisfaction they feel comes
largely from within and is beyond explanation. To really understand
Cross Country you have to experience it for yourself."
Coach French
“It is my privilege and
pleasure to play a part in
the development of these
fine young men.”
Coach Barns
“The effort it takes to achieve
something significant is
difficult to understand unless
you were part of the adventure.
The track teams weren’t just
champions at the end of the
season, they were
champions from the first day
of practice.”
Coach Dams
“The 2002 JV Baseball team
was a crew of talented
players. Without the use of
full practice facilities we
pulled out an outstanding
year, winning 1 5 games.”
Coach Lewis
“The 2002 - 2003 Bulldog
Wrestling team had a lot of
experience, twelve starters
returned. The team had high
expectations and goals. With
hard work and dedication, they
worked toward those goals and
a successful season.”
Coach Majcher

Cross Country is a unique
sport where the men and the
women run identical races. Vp
until the mid 80 ’ s the men and
the women competed
simultaneously.
Cross country is a
combination of physical stamina
and mentaC toughness. It is not
a spectator sport in the typicaC
sense. Many people
misunderstand why anyone
would abuse their body so much
for so CittCe glory.
(Runners Rnow that the
satisfaction they feel comes
largely from within and is
beyond explanation, do ready
understant Cross Country you
have to experience it for
yourseCf.

P owerlifting, without a doubt,
is the ultimate strength sport.
In this unique sport, the
competitors compete in the
bench, squat, and dead lift. To
excel at powerlifting you must be
very devoted, hard working, and
have a will to win.
“Last year’s season the Yale
Powerlifting Team was very
dedicated and spent a lot of
extra time in the weightroom.
Every day you can see lifters
breaking personal and school
records. The team traveled all
over the state to compete in
meets at Lowell, Flint, Vassar,
Richmond, and Peck. Everyone
was successful!”

year. Despite a slow start, the team was
able to capture their District title and
ride on to the State Championships for
their third year in a row. Against some
of the toughest competition that most of
the members had ever seen, they were
able to pull themselves together and
achieve more than they thought possible.
They placed 10th in the State Finals

effects of alcohol and the use of other substances
by underage teens. We encourage the expansion
of our purpose to include those activities that
contribute to the positive development of

The activities include planning healthy

education, positive peer support, leadership
training, mentor and model life skills, and
drinking and driving prevention.

Jury Room
By C. B. Gilford
The fate of Julie Fletcher rests in the hands of
twelve jurors. Accused of murdering her uncle in
cold blood, her only hope lies in the single jury
member who voted not guilty. Alone in her beliefs, a
student actress must attempt to prove Julie’s
innocence to her fellow jurors. By acting out some
of the testimony, she hopes to convince the others to
save Julie Fletcher. Just convincing the others to go
along with her idea is tough enough, but does she
have what it takes to get to the real truth behind
the murder of Julie’s uncle?
The Three- Act play consisting of 12 characters is
under the direction of Mr. Jackson.
